Best NON-D&D/OSR Adventure?

Big fan of CoC's Dead Man Stomp.

Most of my favorites have already been mentioned multiple times, but I'll give a shout out to CoC's In Media Res. That little one-shot really messed with my players' expectations, even more than Jail Break.

Quote from: ChristopherKubasik;996048I've collected a lot of Lamentations of the Flame Princess adventures and have run them for my players in-between other situations and adventures I generated myself.

So far my players have explored Death Frost Doom (2nd edition), The God That Crawls, Scenic Dunnsmouth, and Stranger Storm from the original LotFP Referee book. They had a blast with with all of them.

Are they the "best"? I have no idea. There are so many adventures out there and there are so many of those I've never tried. But I do know my players loved them.

Yeah, I meant non-D&D, non-OSR. That is to say the best adventure that wasn't for any kind of D&D-derived system.

Thanks, if you were referring to my list.

It was originally published in "The Unspeakable Oath #10" and later republished in The Resurrected Volume III (which I assume is what Voros linked to [but the link didn't work for me]).  Both are now OOP, but buying TUO#10 is likely to be cheaper than buying Resurrected Vol 3.

Just Another Snake Cult

Fly To Heaven for Unknown Armies. From the collection One Shots. Breathtaking for a bunch of reasons, some unintentional.

Night of Blood for Warhammer Fantasy Role-Play. I ran that so many times in college. A great "Zero-level" adventure. Would adapt well to Dungeon Crawl Classics.

The two Blood Brothers collections for Call of Cthulhu. Non-mythos, one-night horror adventures meant to simulate drive-in and grindhouse B-movies. Very nice for "Party" games or for people who had never role-played before. I ran a lot of these in high school and in college. A fascinating experiment in genre emulation that was about five years too early... nobody "Got" it  and it went over like a lead balloon. The adventure Dead on Arrival may very well have the first "Zombie survival horror" RPG product.

Shaolin Heartbreak  for Feng Shui, from the collection Marked for Death. Feng Shui was fucking all over the place in both setting and rules, but this adventure really focused laser-like on capturing the feel of a late-80's Hong Kong action melodrama.

I'm a fan of Blood Brothers too.

The Emperor's Cup - a scenario for WFRP 1e. But could easily be transferred to 2e.

It actually was a fan scenario so I don't think it was ever published (I can't remember the author's name atm). Basically, the players had to infiltrate the 'Brothers Militant' a snotball hooligan club. I reckon it was based on that old football hooligan movie I.D.

Absolutely classic Warhammer!
